Actor and politician John Dumelo gave food supplies to University of Ghana students from Mepe, a severely affected town in the Volta Region, in response to the recent Akosombo Dam spill, which resulted in 40,000 people being displaced and substantial property damage.

John Dumelo announced this on his official Twitter account.

He gave a variety of goods, such as rice, oil, canned fish, milk, eggs, and more. Additionally, he revealed that he had paid their school year's tuition.

“On Friday 27th October, I donated various food items to Legon students who hail from Mepe and have been affected by the dam spillage back home. The items included rice, oil, fruit juices, Milo, canned fish, t-roll, powdered milk, fresh eggs etc. I also paid their tuition fees in addition. I want to thank the Legon SRC for their tremendous effort. Together we can all change lives. God bless us all. #idey4u” he posted.

This is his second donation; in the past, he gave affected Volta Region residents relief supplies.

The Lower Volta Basin experienced severe flooding as a result of the spillage caused by rising water levels in the Akosombo and Kpong hydro dams, necessitating such donations.

The Volta Region's many districts are feeling the effects, with Battor, Tefle, Mepe, Sogakope, Adidome, and Anlo being particularly hard hit.

Residents were forced to evacuate, and numerous individuals and organizations are helping with relief efforts.
